Oh man - that brings back memories!!! I had a short term subscription to
Rainbow magazine back in the day, for my TRS-80 CoCo 2. :-)

Saw a link to some somewhere - maybe on a BBS? To read online...

Our oldest son was in elementary school when they first came out, so
we read them with him. :-)

 One of our DIL's uses a Kindle PaperWhite, I think it's called. 
 She swears by it! She will read physical books too, but takes it
 with her for when she can't grab a book. She was talking about
 the battery life and how the screen looks like real paper. 

 My wife is not a reader, but liked it, so I bought her one but
 the Scribe version, because she's a note taker. She will use it
 instead of pencil and paper for notes at church.

 Mo>    The Nephilim Trilogy (omnibus) by L.A. Marzulli

I'm curious what you think about that! I've watched some of his
videos on "The Trail of the Nephalim" series. I think he's onto
something, even if we don't agree 100%.
